    Good morning all, thanks for the coffee. My 19yo made some of grandma's carrot cake that I can share. The rain last night was lovely except for a leak in the roof. We can't get the new roof and siding on quickly enough, I'm so excited for it. three more weeks and we start tearing off the...

    Good morning all, I'm bringing more coffee if anyone would like some. Yesterday was so lovely, the family and dogs and I spent the day outside planting potatoes, onion, and leek starts, transplanting some garlic and tulip bulbs...half of a 40x50ft bed is started with food and I'm pleased. I...

    Good morning all thanks for the coffee! Mixed reviews on today--our fridge is down but I may have found a new front door on FB marketplace. Cross your fingers! Happy eclipse day!

    I think I'll have to eat my words about the snow. On Tuesday I had to drive in that crap and ended up messing up my driver rear on the guardrail, and I was only going 35mph! I was trying to get over to avoid a semi and fishtailed all over the road. And I even have AWD. I'm super sad. In...

    Good morning all, I brought more coffee and some danish! I'm looking forward to the eclipse. I'm having my teens and fella meet me at work (if it's not cloudy) and we're going up on the observation deck, even though it's still closed. (I work at the State Capitol building in Wisconsin)...

    I hope things work out for you. I think maybe the unexpected late spring weather likely had an impact. Maybe add a bit of honey or maple syrup or molasses into it? Only if it's pure.

    I guess I should have specified that I was rescuing it because it got overgrown and gnarly last year, so I'm tending it. Digging it out from weeds!

    It feels like about the 4th consecutive Friday this week--I've thought every day that it was Friday, but it's finally here! Looking forward to digging out my rhubarb this weekend and celebrating our third kid's 18th with homemade sushi and chocolate cupcakes! Thanks for the coffee and company...

    We usually have fox den in an old barn foundation on our property, and we're waiting for them to show up this year yet. Keeping a close eye on the birds for sure. Speaking of spring, @Offshoreorca our rhubarb here in Wisconsin is peeking out, and I'm SO excited that the ramps I transplanted...

    I think what I meant by impartial is that I thought that her personal feelings of what's livable or not, or if she likes our house or not should not come into play. She should just be taking photos and giving the boiled down factual version of the condition.

    We do have a mortgage, this is technically our second mortgage. They did ask about the floors, and I explained. I also explained that at some point they will be finished or replaced, but that the floors are the LAST priority. With the location we're in, and the property surrounding it, this...

    Good morning, thanks for the lovely baby pictures. I brought more coffee and some mini apple turnovers. We're dealing with a weird situation here--we're trying to get a HELOC to finish up our siding project (THANKS INFLATION) and the appraiser is being...odd. She was asking super invasive...

    A bit of driving snow here and there but definitely looks like a spring snow. I had laundry on the line because I only have time to do it on the weekends, and nothing was sticking. I left it overnight, and then my fella brought it in first thing this morning because of course it's been...

    Morning all, thanks for the coffee. I'm full of rage this morning and want to run away. No cause specifically but man do I need a break.

    Good early afternoon, thanks for the brew. I'm still nursing the caffeine cuz boy I need it. I really hope to sleep in tomorrow morning because I'm downright exhausted, for no apparent reason. I even took a 2hr afternoon nap earlier this week. I'm enjoying the snow though!

    I wanted so much more but we only have like 2.5". Granted I can be excited now that we have the snowblower for the tractor with our 1/3 mile driveway, plus all the paths to the outbuildings

    I really want to do kraut this year. I haven't yet since we've been here (five years already!) because my fella hates sauerkraut and so do half of the kids. They're horrible German descendants ;) But it is nice to can and I can do enough in one summer to last three years. Okay, this'll have...
